Steps:
- Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
- Cut courgettes in half lengthways and then cut into semi circle slices. Place on a baking sheet, toss in some olive oil, salt and pepper and place in the oven for around 15 minutes.
- Place pine nuts in a small dry frying pan on medium heat and toast for a few minutes until turning golden brown. Alternatively place in the oven for a few minutes.
- Cook pasta according to packet instructions.
- When the courgettes are golden brown, soft and starting to fall apart remove from the oven and place in a food processor with the pine nuts and remaining ingredients apart from the oil.
- Blitz until the nuts are blended and it resembles a pesto. Slowly pour in the olive oil whilst giving it a final blitz. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
- Once the pasta is done, scoop out 1/4 cup of pasta water. Drain pasta and add the pesto, mix and then add the pasta water. It should be nice and creamy and glossy.
- Serve and top with some extra parmesan!

Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Cook the pasta for 1-2 mins less than the pack instructions say, so that it has a little more bite. Reserve a ladle of cooking water.
- Meanwhile, mix the pesto, crème fraîche and courgettes together. Add the pasta and stir well, adding a little of the reserved water to create a good sauce consistency. Taste and season.
- Tip the pasta and sauce into a baking dish and scatter over the breadcrumbs. Drizzle with a little olive oil and bake for 20 mins until the topping is crisp.

Steps:
- To make the pesto, crush the garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt using a pestle and mortar. Add the pine nuts and pound to a coarse paste, then tear in the basil and mint, pounding again until they've broken down. Stir in the oil and cheese, then taste for seasoning - add more cheese if you like.
- Heat the oil and butter in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the courgettes, sprinkle in the chilli flakes and nutmeg, and season with salt and pepper. Fry for 3-5 mins until the courgettes are golden and softened. Add the spring onions and lemon zest, and stir for a minute or two. Tip in the rice and stir to coat in the oil until translucent, about 2 mins.
- Pour in the wine, then cook for a couple of minutes until it's mostly evaporated. Add a ladleful of the stock and stir for a few minutes until it's absorbed. Continue adding a ladleful at a time for 20-30 mins, stirring continually, until all of the stock is absorbed.
- Stir in the blanched broad beans and flowers, if using, and warm through for 2 mins. Remove from the heat and stir through the parmesan. Allow to sit for about 5 mins, then swirl through half of the pesto. Any remaining pesto will keep chilled for up to two days.
- Divide the risotto between bowls and scatter with the extra basil leaves, extra cheese and another spoonful of the pesto, if you like.
